Bubble play in the event brought the tournament to just 4 minutes before the first break of the day. That 4 minutes was plenty of time for Michael McKinnon to add another 160K or so to his stack, making him the clear chip leader at the beginning of in-the-money play. Johnny Verhoeven is the only other player with over 500K, and following them, there are just 3 players with over 400K stacks, including Piotr Wielopolski and master accumulator Jonathan Bussières.
